Lovely lyrics from Stevie Nicks
I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
Chorus:
Wake up with a stranger
Its not something you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the kings horses, not all the kings men
Could put it back together
You say you wouldnt do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...shes the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get...this...high
Chorus
And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
Was I so wrong
Why am I always so intense
In this same place I sit
The same place as before
Well I came all the way here
Just to watch you walk out that door
I didnt ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Well its not enough that you depend on me
And its not enough that you say you love me
Its not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace
Sometimes
You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isnt a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Maybe I fought this long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive
I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
Chorus:
Wake up with a stranger
Its not something you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the kings horses, not all the kings men
Could put it back together
You say you wouldnt do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess...shes the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get...this...high
Chorus
And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
Was I so wrong
Why am I always so intense
In this same place I sit
The same place as before
Well I came all the way here
Just to watch you walk out that door
I didnt ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Well its not enough that you depend on me
And its not enough that you say you love me
Its not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace
Sometimes
You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isnt a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Maybe I fought this long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive

A fellow Suicide Girl (Lennon, check her out she rules) has a song that deals with a similar theme.
"My Beautiful" (later re-recorded as "Where Do I Fit In")
Wake up every morning to the sound of the radio screaming
6:30, 7:30, 8 o'clock and I got to leave
Walk out on the street with nothing on except the shame of last night
And a number in my hand of a man I don't really need
<Chorus>
Where do I fit in
Where is my place here
What do I need to say, what do you want to hear
Where do I fit in
If she's in your bed
Where is my beautiful
Late night, long day, doesn't make much difference to me anyway
You called, I answered, but baby I'm only half awake
Hush little one with you here everything is going to be okay
Is all you say but what if things don't go that way
<Chorus>
It's over, we both know, we're both tired of playing the parts
I said goodbye, you said oh well nothing's really lost
Call every now and then just to hear your voice talk to me
You still say everything's alright but it's not and that's something that you're too blind to see
<Chorus x2>
*breaks out my MP3 player* I carry Lennon's discography everywhere I go for just such an occasion
